OK! So, I was able to find them for about $186 (where they are $209 everywhere else on AE) from places like here. I was also able to find a Youtube video on them, and it was actually posted 2 years ago. From what that video was talking about the driver in this model is a very cheap (and common) one, though he also goes on to say that he hasn't actually heard them. I have not seen anywhere that talks about actually hearing them. I was also able to (end up) finding these on 7 different AE stores, and there are no customer reviews or comments on any of them.
I'm thinking that these (being out for over 2 years) must not be that popular, or the people are thinking they are just way overpriced.
Edit: The other ones you asked about are pretty pricey (IMHO) for a no-name company, and they don't come with a cable at all (unless you pay $13 more). These seem way overpriced to me (though I am no expert at telling TOTL from lower end just by looking).
I think that we (as a consumer) need to be careful with what we spend our hard earned money on with earbuds. It seems as though earbuds are picking up in popularity (again), so some of these no-name companies are throwing a $5 set together and charging TOTL prices (like the big name companies do) just to make a sale. I, for one, will not be spending that kind of money on something that no one has ever heard/heard of before. Yes, this is coming from someone who has paid $400 for a set of buds, but those were from a "trusted" name. It WAS still a blind buy for me, but I think you get the point?!
